Take some quiet time for yourself. In the quietness you will begin to recognize yourself again. We so easily lose ourselves in the daily shuffle of life. Mindfulness and awareness will allow you to participate in your life rather than only reacting to life. Through practicing mindfulness, you can begin to enjoy the simple things in life that have been lost in the clutter. Meditation is the powerful antidote to many of the poisons in your life; it stills vast yearnings and inner-discontentments. Meditation provides a reprieve from the vicious swings of worry; that horrid place where our mind continually wanders, where it's filled with fear and grasping for unknowable futures. Meditation opens you to completeness; a moment of true reality. Meditation does not strive — it only opens you to what is. As your hopes and desires disappear, you emerge. Through meditation you begin to take form in your interior as a beautiful being. Free from self-deception and fear, you will start to see and believe in your own beauty. As you submerge into your own realm of nothingness you feel you are being pulled into some great oneness; a mending of the fractures in your own consciousness. Nothing to conquer or control, no-one to quarrel with — the still mind is peaceful, and the still mind is free. Your quiet moments prepare you for the harsh scuffles and abrasions of life. Take some quiet time for yourself to center and to transcend the madness. Quietness is the most unpretentious preparation for a life of peaceful significance.

"I live in Austin, Texas with my wife Jenni, and I have three amazing daughters. I am a simple person, who as a boy, ran around barefoot on a dirt-road in Alabama — dreaming of being a writer. I am probably best known as a writer of pithy sayings and small, simple aphorisms which have found their way into tens-of-thousands of publications, including by some of the biggest publishers in the world. I love to inspire people and show them their inner-beauty. I see the world spiritually. My mission is to cause people to consider kinder ways in which we could do business, structure our relationships and treat the world."

“Use the connections created at Forge! Email and set up coffee dates with all of the guests, and build those relationships. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and enjoy the great opportunity!”

“Follow your heart — it’s the conductor of life, just trust it. When you lead with deep passion, the rest will follow. That is not to say you won’t be lost or confused, as that is literally all of life, but it is alright to be afraid and/or unsure of what happens next. You will make a TON of mistakes and will often have no idea what to do, but that is when you ask for help from your peers!”

“I would tell a future/present Forger or anyone to never stop chasing your dreams, continue to put yourself out there even when you’re afraid, and it will all work out.”

“My advice for a future Forger would be to trust in themselves, but always stay humble! I didn’t think I had what it takes to be a Forger, but I gave it a shot and made it, so I could have trusted in myself from the beginning.”
